When is asbestos most harmful?

Asbestos garage roofing and sheeting is at its most harmful when it has been damaged. Common signs of deterioration and damage in asbestos roofing and sheeting are splits and cracks.

If you spot damaged asbestos roofing and sheeting, we advise you do not attempt to remove or repair the damaged asbestos roofing or sheeting without the guidance or supervision of trained professionals.

How might I be exposed to asbestos?

You are most likely to be exposed to asbestos by breathing in fibres that are suspended in the air. These fibres are commonly released when damaged asbestos roofing and sheeting are moved or disturbed.

Completed garage roof by RedClad Roofing
Redclad came to demolish an old garage in my garden which had an asbestos roof. I can’t fault the work that was done, my garden was left tidy and cleared they even got rid of some extra junk that I needed disposed of.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience from the communication to the quote and the job itself. Redclad were professional, friendly and reliable!

100% would recommend to anyone I know looking for similar work. Thanks again Matt we’re over the moon with the outcome.

Mathew from Redclad roofing was extremely professional in everything from the first quote to completion. Being undecided on type of roof needed he came and looked and gave me some much needed advice, the quote was prompt and fully itemised.

He arrived on time and worked professionally and efficiently until job was done. The site was cleared up and all rubbish removed. Throughout he was polite and curtious. A pleasure to have him and his colleague. Highly recommended.

Matthew at Redclad has done a brilliant job.

He arrived on time, got the job done in terrible weather to the most amazing standard then cleaned up more than we expected him and his team to.

He is trustworthy, hard working and very well price for the standard of work he delivered. Thankyou !!
